Jaret Anderson-Dolan - Spokane Chiefs (WHL)
Position: CBorn: September 12, 1999 – Calgary, Alberta, CanadaHeight: 5’11"Weight: 185 lbs.Shoots: LeftDrafted: 2014 WHL Draft – Round #1 (14th overall) by the Spokane ChiefsJaretAnderson-Dolan saw some success early in the season centring fellow
2017 draft eligible forward Kailer Yamamoto and could see huge
offensive numbers if he sticks on his line. Sees time on both the power
play and penalty kill. A very intense forechecker and highly motivated
puck chaser, he wants the puck on his stick always. Tremendous work
ethic and will battle in the corners and win puck possession. Has good
acceleration and is fast even when he is gliding down the middle of the
ice. Loves to shoot from in close and can pick the top corners almost
every time. Difficult to knock him off the puck and keeps his balance
with low centre of gravity. Likes to show emotion and gets on the nerves
of opposing players often. One of the youngest in this draft class and
is maturing at a steady pace.

DID YOU KNOW? After playing his five underage games with Spokane in 2014-15 and
recording no points, Anderson-Dolan announced his arrival to the WHL in
his first game as a full-time WHL player on opening night of the 2015-16
season by netting a hat trick leading the Chiefs to a 6-4 win over the
Tri-City Americans. He finished the season with 14 goals and 26 points
in 65 games.

Markus Phillips - Owen Sound Attack (OHL)
Position: DBorn: March 21, 1999 – Toronto, Ontario, CanadaHeight: 6'0"Weight: 207 lbs.Shoots: RightDrafted: 2015 OHL Draft – Round #1 (9th Overall) by Owen Sound AttackMarkus Phillips’ speed and skating ability give him the advantage to win
puck races and get back into position after a pinch. He is very light
on his edges and at times looks like his coasting speed is equal to
opponent’s top speed. Looks real comfortable in his own end and has
worked and improved on those skills that he needed to build on from his
rookie season. He uses his speed to retrieve pucks and get to the
corners first to eliminate any puck pursuits. He can elude forecheckers
and be patient with the puck in his own end and get the breakout set up.
Phillips like to shoot the puck but needs to work on accuracy and
timing of his shots as he has many shots blocked in traffic.

DID YOU KNOW? In his short career, Phillips has established himself a leader in the
eyes of Hockey Canada. He was named Captain of Canada at the recent 2016
Ivan Hlinka Tournament in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. During the
2015 World Under 17 Challenge in Fort St. John / Dawson Creek, Phillips
was captain of Team Canada Red.

Position: LWBorn: January 14, 1999 – Beaconsfield, Quebec, CanadaHeight: 5’11"Weight: 183 lbs.Shoots: LeftDrafted: 2015 QMJHL Draft – Round #1 (7th overall) by the Halifax MooseheadsArnaud Durandeau is a smaller guy with good stickhandling skill and can
be crafty with his jukes and dangles. Shows soft hands around the net
and will always follow his shot looking for rebounds. Likes to go hard
to the net and plays the game bigger than he is. Works hard to find
open space for himself. Reacts well and has good awareness of when he is
skating himself into trouble and battles it out despite his smallish
frame. Very quick and agile. Appears to have gained hockey sense and has
gained more confidence in his shot. Looks to be improving game by game.
Has a real high offensive potential. Needs to improve strength and play
a three-zone game to continue to show is can play both an offensive and
defensive game.

DID YOU KNOW? Durandeau had 51 points in 42 games during the 2014-15 season for the
Lac St-Louis Lions in the Quebec midget AAA league. The Mooseheads had
not picked in the top 10 in the QMJHL Draft since they took current
Tampa Bay Lightning forward Jonathan Drouin second overall in 2011.
